‘’ Cops praise 75yo homeowner who shot alleged stabber during home invasion’’

Chances are that if he hadn’t had a firearm both he and his wife would have been murdered.
Why would the intruder be trying to get back into the house if not to make sure that they would not be able to identify him?

Sorry, can’t get a link posted, but there are plenty on Google.

This incident where a home owner shot an armed intruder will test the mettle of the NSW Police and Labor State Government.

Will the 75 year old home occupant be charged for shooting the intruder, 34 year old Joshua Dylan Trethewey, allegedly for forcing entry into the home, stabbing the woman in the chest and slashing the man across the abdomen while both are fighting for life after being airlifted to the Gold Coast University Hospital?

The Ben Fordham radio show is syndicated across Australia hence NSW Police will have to behave with some honour in this case and as Queensland MP Robbie Katter said: “Why should a person have to be conscious of being charged by police when defending his life, his wife’s life and his home?”

This is the conundrum on which Katters Australian Party’s proposed Castle Law hinges. The Queensland Liberal National Party Government so far has ignored a home owner’s right of self-defence which has been made entirely clear by centuries of Common Law.

A man’s home is his Castle.

Update from NSW Police:

Police have been told 75-year-old Keith Blessing and his 72-year-old wife Di were home at the time when a 34-year-old man entered the premises and allegedly stabbed both with a knife.

The woman collapsed with a chest wound while her husband was slashed across his abdomen, before the man went outside onto the verandah.

The homeowner called Triple Zero (000) seeking urgent assistance and police from Tenterfield and Glen Innes and NSW Ambulance paramedics were immediately despatched.

Before police arrived; however, the younger man attempted to get back into the house and was allegedly shot by the resident.

The couple were treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics for serious injuries, before being airlifted to Gold Coast Hospital in a critical condition.

Because everyone knows that firearms [in the hands of law abiding citizens]......are a threat to law and order in the community.

@Reply #5,

Yep.



'Representative government'. ??

Its a joke.

And we all know it.



An old observational quip.....

If you suspect that the intent of someone you are in dialogue with, is to mislead you....

Simply pay more attention to [i.e. investigate and observe] the RW consequences of what they are [actually] doing,
and give less credence to their proffered arguments [i.e. their words].

[rw = = real world]
